I ran into an old alumni friend of mine, a surgeon. I respect his medical opinion. He says quarantining makes good sense. As for Ebola being airborne, he says, "Just wait until flu season." If someone gets the flu, or even a cold, who also gets ebola, it's effectively airborne, regardless of the exact CDC/biowarfare definition. Sure, it's not airborne like weaponized nanoparticles of anthrax, or smallpox, but it's airborne "enough."
Wow, and that makes perfect sense. Flu or cold on top of Øbola and it is effectively weaponized.
We're about to find out; flu season will pick up over the next six weeks. We'll see what happens to Ebola rates as influenza-infected volunteers go to West Africa and spread flu there among the Ebola population.
